By definition, 1 gram of water will occupy one cubic centimeter. If the object to be floated on water weighs less per cubic centimeter it will float, and if it weighs more it will sink. *For an object to float in a liquid, it must have a lower density than the liquid. For example water has a density of one kilogram per litre and ice has a density of 0.9 kg/L, so ice floats; lead has a density of about 8-9 kg/L, so it will float in Mercury (density of somwhere between 15 and 20 kg/L; please correct if you have the data).

∙ 15y agoAn object needs to be less dense than the fluid it is in to float. This can be achieved by increasing the object's volume relative to its mass. For example, a ship floats because its average density is lower than that of the water it displaces.

An object will float when it has less density than the fluid or substance that it is placed in. The object floats upward due to buoyant forces. Similarly, objects will sink if they are dense than the fluid.
An object float in a liquid only when the density of the solid is lower than the density of the liquid.
The ability to float in liquids is called buoancy. It is regularly demonstrated by wood, which is less-dense than water, and will float (in most cases). If an object is too dense, or its weight is not distributed over a large area, then it will sink.
The amount of water needed to make an object float depends on the object's density and volume. The volume of water displaced by the object should be equal to or greater than the volume of the object for it to float. Adding more water will increase the buoyant force.
When an object is less dense than the fluid it is immersed in, it will experience a buoyant force pushing it up. This is due to the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the object, causing it to float or rise. It is the principle behind why less dense objects float in more dense fluids, like a boat on water.
An object will float in water if its density is less than the density of water, which is approximately 1000 kg/m^3. This means that the object must be less dense than water in order to float.
The weight of the object must be equal to the weight of the water it displaces in order for the object to float in water. This is known as Archimedes' principle. If the object is less dense than water, it will float; if it is more dense, it will sink.
No, objects do not float easier in dense fluids. Objects float based on the density difference between the object and the fluid it is placed in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float; if it is more dense, it will sink. The density of the fluid itself does not affect the floating behavior of the object.
You can use the density of an object to predict whether it will float or sink by comparing the density of the object to the density of the fluid it is placed in. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float. If the object is more dense than the fluid, it will sink.
A less dense object or any other substance will float on a more dense liquid.
Denser than the object.
It will float.
Comparing the density of an object with that of a liquid will determine whether the object will float or sink in the liquid. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float; if it is more dense, it will sink.
The tendency of a solid object to float in a fluid is determined by the relationship between the density of the object and the density of the fluid. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float. If the object is more dense, it will sink.
To float, the buoyant force acting on an object must be greater than or equal to the weight of the object. This means that the object's displaces an amount of fluid equal to its weight. So, for an object to float, its weight must be less than or equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
Well, if the object is more dense than the liquid, it will sink. If the object is less dense than the liquid, it will float. For example, a kernel is more dense than water, so it sinks, but the kernel is less dense than corn syrup, so it will float.
True. An object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is placed in, and sink if it is more dense. Density is a key factor in determining whether an object will sink or float.
